Hanging onto that tablet or smartphone can be a real challenge on those days when life seems to be happening faster than the speed of light. And dropping an electronic device can bring sudden disaster. That’s why GripTipz was created. The soft, rubber-like grips get placed on the back of a mobile device where fingers would naturally go to give an added ability to hold gadgets more securely while still offering comfort. Multiple color options are available in an attempt to keep gadget aesthetics appealing.

While this is an interesting idea, it seems that there are better solutions in the making. Backers might want to check out LapTape and GerpGrip for ideas of what may work best for their own lifestyle situations. This campaign seeks to raise $15,000. For a donation of $19, early bird backers get one product with an expected delivery in February 2015.
